RECENT EXPERIENCES
OF REV ROBERT HUNT.

Some time since wrote up for your paper some "reminiscences of several of my pastoral charges. I now wish through your kind permission, to fur nish this article on recent experiences. During the month of August I e1chang cd with the pastor of tho M. B. church at Canaan, also with Rev J. H. Michen of Sharon, and Rev w. D. Webster of 4illerton, N. '. It will give me great pleasure to express in the columns of the News my delight in visiting those old fields of labor. There are no ties on earth as strong, as tender, as respon- sive, as the ties of christian fellowship. The divinest bond that binds human hearts is found in the household of faith"
 At Canaan I missed many faces and voices, but the general makeup of the audience was @ of old. I noted the deep, perfect silence during prayer, the thoughtful attention given the ser mon. all of which indicated to my mind excellent church manners. In several localities that might name little atten- tion IS given to the manners best suited to the House of God. All the churches of Canaan are enterprising and in 8 hopeful mood-long may they all live to minister to mans greatest need.
 With thankful heart I left the Happy Land of Canaan to visit Sharon, the beautiful fer situation. When I looked from hilltop to hilltop, the green slopes from the valleys, the pro- ductive farms, the ample comfort-speak- ing farm houses, could not wonder at the unbounded admiration, but I can not suitably acknowledge Brother Whit ney's kindness, without speaking of the quality of the horse. I just wished that horse belonged to my church. I found the church at Amenia Union greatly improved in appearance. greeted many an old friend, and then gladly turned away and faced toward Millerton. Another perfect Sabbath an audience large, fresh, intelligent, quick to perceive, apt in applying the truth. The singing in this church deserved much praise. I missed the voice of lillian B. Eggleston, but l thought he must be singing in sweeter, nobler song, and had no tears to shed for our glorifed brother, but much compassion for his wife and son and other kindred who so deeply mourn his loss. The church edifce within is really beautiful. The pastor, MT Web ster. and the building committee, have succeeded in securing. for the money expended, the incest church on the Harlem road. Attended union service at the Baptist church in the evening and had the pleasure of listening to al instructive sermon by Dr James Sim mons, of New York city, supplementet by few very pertinent remarks by tn
 pastor, Dr Hopper. Saw many that i was joy to see, and returned to m, own field of labor at Lee, Mass, with , higher appreciation of humanity ant the privilege of preaching the Gospe
